The inaugural Trigg County Amazing Family Race, set to be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at West Cadiz Park, is designed to help families have fun while staying fit, says Cecilia Hostilo.

The Trigg County Health and Wellness Team, of which Hostilo is a member, is organizing the event. They also organized the Day of Play, which was held for similar reasons last fall at the Trigg County Recreation Complex.

The Health and Wellness Team, Hostilo said, is a coalition that is coordinated by the Pennyrile District Health Department, a coalition consisting of “groups who are interested in promoting physical activity … among the youth of Trigg County.

As the name suggests, the event will work somewhat like the Amazing Race television program, albeit on a smaller scale. After registering, people will go from booth to booth, they’ll have a passport. They’ll get that passport stamped at each booth.
